Re: Windows 7 Fact Thread

It is only 8pm EST. Microsoft is PDT. Which is another 3 hours behind me. So they are GMT +8. I wouldnt look for it till they get into office to try and stur the tide.

I know I was joking because it was the 9th in Europe hence the
I was hoping for Noon PST which is 9 PM here also known as 21:00.
It takes about 3 minutes to refresh the Win7 page so I a guessing a ton of people are watching.

Edit: now the page is not loading at all hmmmm. Are we going to see Microsoft's servers go down today? Something in the works?

I was just reading about the mp3 bug. I wonder how many people got it from TPB and killed their mp3 collection. Serves them right.

Ummm. No. Can you share your copy of Vista or XP with a friend? No. It violates even the EULA and TOS of Win7.

I notice the requirements aren't as ridiculous sounding as the original Vista ones...I may actually be able to run 7 on my desktop, rofl.

EDIT: You know...if the server doesn't stop crashing so I can download it.
